Not recently. I have read books on David Lynch, Krzysztof Kieslowski and Martin Scorsese. And I've always wanted to read that book written by the guy in The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.
1. High Society: The Life of Grace Kelly: Pretty good, but a bit fake. 2. Once Upon a Time: Behind the Fairy Tale of Princess Grace and Prince Rainier: Great, definitely didn't try to sugarcoat as much as the High Society one. 3. My Story: Marilyn Monroe: Fantastic 4. Marilyn: Her Life in Her Own Words: Fantastic 5. Ingrid: Ingrid Bergman, A Personal Biography: Great 6. It's Only a Movie: Alfred Hitchcock: Pretty Good, a bit boring in some parts. 7. The Art of Alfred Hitchcock: 50 Years of His Motion Pictures: Fantastic
I'm currently reading Lauren Bacall's autobiography 'By Myself' and I'm loving it. Just getting to the beginning of the Bogie romance.
Katharine Hepburn's autobiography: ME, the Garson Kanin memoir of her and spence TRACY AND HEPBURN, and KATE: a biography by this writer who's name I can't recall.
